From Warner Bros. Pictures comes Matt Reeves’ “The Batman,” starring Robert Pattinson in the dual role of Gotham City’s vigilante detective and his alter ego, reclusive billionaire Bruce Wayne.

Two years of stalking the streets as the Batman (Robert Pattinson), striking fear into the hearts of criminals, has led Bruce Wayne deep into the shadows of Gotham City. With only a few trusted allies - Alfred Pennyworth (Andy Serkis), Lt. James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright)—amongst the city’s corrupt network of officials and high-profile figures, the lone vigilante has established himself as the sole embodiment of vengeance amongst his fellow citizens.

When a killer targets Gotham’s elite with a series of sadistic machinations, a trail of cryptic clues sends the World’s Greatest Detective on an investigation into the underworld, where he encounters such characters as Selina Kyle/aka Catwoman (Zoë Kravitz), Oswald Cobblepot/aka the Penguin (Colin Farrell), Carmine Falcone (John Turturro), and Edward Nashton/aka the Riddler (Paul Dano). As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator’s plans becomes clear, Batman must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit, and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued Gotham City.

Starring alongside Robert Pattinson (“Tenet,” “The Lighthouse”) as Gotham’s famous and infamous cast of characters are Zoë Kravitz (“Big Little Lies,” “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”); Paul Dano (“Love & Mercy,” “12 Years a Slave”); Jeffrey Wright (“No Time to Die,” “Westworld”); John Turturro (the “Transformers” films, “The Plot Against America”); Peter Sarsgaard (“The Magnificent Seven,” “Interrogation”) as Gotham D.A. Gil Colson; Jayme Lawson (“Farewell Amor”) as mayoral candidate Bella Reál; with Andy Serkis (the “Planet of the Apes” films, “Black Panther”); and Colin Farrell (“The Gentlemen,” “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”).

Reeves (“The Planet of the Apes” franchise) directed from a screenplay by Reeves & Peter Craig, based on characters from DC. Batman was created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger. Dylan Clark (the “Planet of the Apes” films) and Reeves produced the film, with Michael E. Uslan, Walter Hamada, Chantal Nong Vo and Simon Emanuel serving as executive producers.

Warner Bros. Pictures Presents a 6th & Idaho/Dylan Clark Productions Production, a Matt Reeves Film, “The Batman.” The film is set to open in Philippine theaters in March 2022; it will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.

This Undated Planner from National Bookstore, perfect for fans of the hit TV show Friends, features undated pages and blank weekly pages on which you can jot down your checklists and more.

Stay on top of your schedule with a handy pocket-sized Animal Desk Calendar. These colorful calendars, which come in pretty pastel colors, feature monthly views.

4. Keep your workspace tidy

It’s perfectly understandable if you don’t always have the time to keep your workspace spotless when you’re busy, but as much as possible, try to keep everything in its proper place. This Wooden Desk Organizer makes it easier to arrange your documents, notes, pens, and other supplies.

5. Track your finances consistently

Spent more than you intended during the holidays? It’s fine to treat yourself, but remember to set some savings aside as well. Get your finances back on track this year with a Budget Planner.

Universal Pictures 2022 Q1 Movie Line-up

Larger-than-life viewing experience is about to burst anew on the big screen this 2022 with Universal Pictures International’s first quarter slate, bustling with stories on passion and fashion, speed and greed, chic and music, extravagance and romance.

Directed by Ridley Scott, House of Gucci pools a powerhouse cast led by Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, Jared Leto, Al Pacino, Jeremy Irons, Salma Hayek and Jack Huston. The movie is inspired by the shocking true story f the family empire behind the Italian fashion House of Gucci that spanned three decades of love, betrayal, decadence, revenge and ultimately murder. The movie delves into what a name means, what it’s worth and how far a family will go for control. House of Gucci opens this January 19 in cinemas.

A special limited release engagement for car and speed enthusiasts, F9 comes to select cinemas nationwide on January 26. F9 is the ninth chapter in the Fast & Furious Saga, which has endured for two decades and has earned more than $5 billion around the world. This time, that threat will force Dom to confront the sins of his past if he’s going to save those he loves most. His crew joins together to stop a world-shattering plot led by the most skilled assassin and high-performance driver they’ve ever encountered: a man who also happens to be Dom’s forsaken brother, Jakob (John Cena, next year’s The Suicide Squad). The action hurtles around the globe - from London to Tokyo, from Central America to Edinburgh, and from a secret bunker in Azerbaijan to the teeming streets of Tblisi.

A spectacular event awaits when Sing 2 hits cinemas on February 2, Illumination’s smash animated franchise arrives with big dreams and spectacular hit songs as the ever-optimistic koala, Buster Moon, and his all-star cast of performers prepare to launch their most dazzling stage extravaganza yet …all in the glittering entertainment capital of the world. There’s just one hitch: They first have to persuade the world’s most reclusive rock star - played by global music icon Bono, in his animated film debut - to join them. Buster (Oscar® winner Matthew McConaughey) has turned the New Moon Theater into a local hit, but Buster has his eyes on a bigger prize: Debuting a new show at the Crystal Tower Theater in glamorous Redshore City.

An unlikely romance about two different people searching for something real in a world where value is based on likes and followers, Marry Me is a modern love story about celebrity, marriage and social media. Packed with original songs by Jennifer Lopez and global Latin music star Maluma who makes his feature-film debut), Marry Me features Lopez starring as musical superstar Kat Valdez and Owen Wilson as Charlie Gilbert, a math teacher - total strangers who agree to marry and then get to know each other. Divorced high-school math teacher Charlie Gilbert (Owen Wilson) has been dragged to the concert by his daughter Lou (Chloe Coleman, HBO’s Big Little Lies) and his best friend (Sarah Silverman). When Kat (Lopez) learns, seconds before the ceremony, that Bastian (Maluma) has cheated on her, her life turns left as she has a meltdown on stage, questioning love, truth and loyalty.

In the tradition of the classic MGM movies that celebrate romance lyrically and visually, award- winning director Joe Wright (Darkest Hour, Anna Karenina, Atonement, Pride & Prejudice) orchestrates a gifted ensemble of actors performing the big-screen epic love story Cyrano, unfolding in cinemas on February 23. This bold new adaptation, scripted by Erica Schmidt and filmed on stunning Italian locales, re- imagines the timeless tale of wit, courage, and love. The score and songs are from The National’s Bryce and Aaron Dessner, and Matt Berninger and Carin Besser. In the title role, Peter Dinklage (Emmy Award winner for Game of Thrones) makes the iconic character his own.

Over one day across the streets of L.A., three lives will change forever in Ambulance. In this breakneck thriller from director-producer Michael Bay, decorated veteran Will Sharp (Emmy winner Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Candyman, The Matrix Resurrections), desperate for money to cover his wife’s medical bills, asks for help from the one person he knows he shouldn’t - his adoptive brother Danny (Oscar® nominee Jake Gyllenhaal, Zodiac, Spider-Man: Far From Home). A charismatic career criminal, Danny instead offers him a score: the biggest bank heist in Los Angeles history: $32 million. With his wife’s survival on the line, Will can’t say no. But when their getaway goes spectacularly wrong, the desperate brothers hijack an ambulance with a wounded cop clinging to life and ace EMT Cam Thompson (Eiza González, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, Baby Driver) onboard. In a high-speed pursuit that never stops, Will and Danny must evade a massive, city-wide law enforcement response, keep their hostages alive, and somehow try not to kill each other, all while executing the most insane escape L.A. has ever seen. Ambulance is coming soon in theaters on March 30.

Music Artists Worldwide Raises P1-Million for Typhoon Odette Victims thru "MYX Operation Odette" Livestream MusicFest

When disaster strikes, count artists among the first responders as they create timely and innovative ways for people to gather, help and heal.

This is exactly what MYX’s Operation Odette did last December 28-29, 2021, by assembling from all over the world 24 DJs like Miles Medina, Umami, Icy Ice, Franzen, Shortkut, along with singer-songwriter Jayne Rio, to stream over 25 hours of music on the Twitch livestream platform, to raise, as of this writing, US $17,971 (approximately Php918,677.52) The proceeds will go to ABS-CBN Foundation International (AFI) in its operations to help individuals and families in areas severely damaged recently by Super Typhoon Odette (international name: Rai).

Another Twitch livestream raid train will take place this weekend from January 6 to January 9, 2022 starting at 2pm PST. The upcoming 4-day event will consist of 40 hours of house music featuring a gathering of 20 of the most notable DJs, Producers, and house music pioneers around the world like DJ Ala (San Diego, CA), Jayvi Velasco (San Francisco, CA), Big Cee (Los Angeles, CA) jojoflores (Montreal, CAN), Micfreak (Baltimore, MD), Local Options (Chicago, IL) and more who have all come together to help.

A WAVE OF "BAYANIHAN" FOLLOWS A SEA OF DISASTER

In the January 3, 2022 situational report of the Philippine National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), Odette's aftermath includes 407 casualties, 1,147 injured and 78 missing people. The calamity has affected 4,879,130 persons. A total of 582,626 houses have been damaged. The cost of damage to agricultural areas that include crops, livestock/poultry and fisheries is Php 7,686,026,544.93.

"You cannot watch the related videos or read the news and not feel affected by the scale of the destruction. It’s heartbreaking. And although the Philippines is typically known to experience typhoons yearly, this one hit a little harder knowing many spent the holidays homeless or alone," said MYX OIC / Head of Operations and Production Marlino Bitanga. "MYX is a global platform that celebrates the next generation of artists, creatives and filmmakers, but philanthropy has always been integrated into everything we do -- giving is an integral part of our culture. It is during times like these where we are blessed to be able to leverage our platform, people, and resources to come together with the artists themselves and celebrate healing and resilience through united art and action that literally help save lives in the Philippines right now."

"We in MYX are most touched by the readiness and willingness of these busy artists, who, despite facing financial challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, had no hesitation about doing this fundraiser and encouraging their youthful audience of all ethnicities to donate to victims of Typhoon Odette in the Philippines. We had over 400 donators, and most of them were young, first-time donors, who we know will continue to support initiatives like this for years to come,” said MYX Global Executive Producer and Talent Head Roslynn Cobarrubias. "The Filipino spirits of kapwa and bayanihan are strong in the hearts of these artists, their loyal fans and our global MYX community.”

MYX's Operation Odette is working with AFI to make sure proceeds really help the victims of Typhoon Odette. According to AFI Managing Director Rea Lopez, donors to the Operation Odette efforts have already helped serve over 50,000 families with much-needed clean drinking water, food packs, hot meals, and hygiene kits. Other essentials needed at evacuation centers are blankets, sleeping mats, and basic clothing.

"Our hearts go out to the communities devastated by Odette at a time of an ongoing global pandemic," said Lopez. "We are also very grateful to MYX and its network of artists for their commitment to join AFI in providing disaster relief and humanitarian aid. It's always been part of AFI's mission in the last 30 years to help victims survive and recover from calamities. With the help of MYX's Operation Odette and all other donors, we want to be able to serve at least 100,000 families the soonest as time is of the essence."

Ylona Garcia Releases New Single “Entertain Me,” Announces Partnership with Valorant

Hot on the heels of her sensational performance at the Head in the Clouds festival, Australia-born, Filipino singer-songwriter Ylona Garcia opens 2022 with a big bang with her much-anticipated brand new single, “Entertain Me” via PARADISE RISING/88rising Music.

Produced by DNA and written by Ylona herself together with David Musumeci and Antonio Egizii, “Entertain Me” is an anthemic synth-pop number about female empowerment. Characterized by a soaring backbeat and an infectious chorus, the song finds Ylona asserting her independence and dispelling the notion that she can be fooled and controlled by anyone.

Coinciding with the single’s release is the launch of a new playable character in Riot Games’ wildly- popular video game, Valorant. The new character named Neon, who in teasers has been described as hailing from Manila, speaks Tagalog language and is described as one of the youngest agents “who can outpace the rest of the roster, shocking the competition, and sliding straight into the fight". 

The launch of the character Neon perfectly complements the empowered persona Ylona exudes in “Entertain Me.” The single’s release and official lyric video premiere will coincide with Valorant’s trailer launch with sync on January 5 while the music video of “Entertain Me’ will drop soon.

At only 19 years old, Ylona Garcia has set her sights on the global landscape in the next stage of her creative journey.  With multiple song releases under her belt already, in addition to appearing on two of the biggest reality/talent contests shows in the Philippines, Ylona Garcia has become one of the fastest-rising, most prominent young voices in the Filipino music community. 

She currently has over 4.1 million Followers on Instagram and nearly 1 million followers on TikTok in addition to over 265,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and 150,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel.

Ylona Garcia’s music is released by 88rising’s sister label PARADISE RISING, which was launched in 2020 to help bring Filipino music to the forefront of culture.
